Hi  Priscilla,

Haven't tried it but how about posting the master datawindow
rowfocuschanged event or the linkage service pfc_rofocuschanged from an
itemchanged caused by the drop-down selection.

IF DWO.Name = "dddw_column" THEN 
        IF IsValid ( inv_Linkage ) THEN
                inv_Linkage.Post Event pfc_RowFocusChanged (row) 
        END IF
END IF
